The explanation you are about to read will reset your admin password though be warned, any documents saved to your HDD that are retrieved through the document filing feature will be lost.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!!!!

Enter simulation as follows:

Double tap the HOME key on the copy count screen tap the version number in the bottom right corner eg ver 1.01. At the next screen tap # * C * Now enter 62 and press the MONO key, now press 08 and again press the MONO key.

This gets you to the command to format the HDD except for system area. I know this appears scary but fear not. Press the EXECUTE button in the bottom right of the screen and confirm YES.

This may take a while, I have known it take up to one hour but be patient it will reset the admin password for you causing no damage to the machine. The only thing that you will lose is any documents you have saved to the HDD.

The only way to gain access when the admin pin has been lost is to open
the panel on the left side of the printer. With the printer off,
rRemove the metal cover over the board. Look for a small yellow
jumper. There should be a series of three pins with the jumper
connecting the center and right pin. Move it to the left so it covers
the left and center pin. Wait about a minute and then turn on the
printer. You should be able to regain access to the menus. You may
always want to do a restore to factory by holding in select (checkmark)
and right arrow then turning on the printer and releasing the buttons
after about ten seconds to gain access to the service menu. From in
there you can reset the printer back to factory. You can also reset just the network to clear a forgotten web password for example. These instructions also work on the Dell equivalent which is a 5530dn I believe.
